and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven
children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. "I wish I could take
one of my children out alone," said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out,
I'll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I'll take
someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me"
time. Christie's daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other
children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly.
Christie looked refreshed and happy. "She's like a different child when there's
no one else around," Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to
herself, McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered
something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example,
I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds
my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn't stutter once
during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak.
And the other son, Sam, who's always a follower when around other children,
shines as a leader during our times together.
The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with
each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain.
Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
B. curious
C. regretful
D. friendly
B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers.
D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
B. it's tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents' full attention
D. parents should watch others' children

Mrs Black is sixty-nine years old. She has only a daughter named Sandra. Mr Black died twelve years ago. She was very sad and lived in her house alone. Two years later her daughter had a baby. The woman was busy all the time and had no time to look after her son James. She asked her mother to live with them.
